FOR FEB. 29, 2016

Combine Effort

At last year's NFL Scouting Combine, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota wowed scouts with his arm and legs (a 40-yard dash time of 4.52), while Michigan State's Jeremy Langford was the only running back to dip below 4.5 seconds (4.42). Who will be this year's top performers? Will North Dakota State's Carson Wentz secure his spot as the No. 1 QB on the board? Can Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott raise his draft stock? Go to SI.com/nfl for a complete breakdown of this year's combine, which will be held from Feb. 23 through Feb. 29 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
